Former Spring Framework committer, now writing Call of Cthulhu scenarios.
Today we played our 40th and final session of Black Lancers, my WW2 Pulp Cthulhu campaign following the trail of the Polish Black Brigade through Europe, as the heroes hunt for ancient Christian artifacts.
This was the 2nd time I have run this campaign, and it has been a joy from start to finish.

Good afternoon, #Devoxx. I know that there there are a lot of interesting sessions this afternoon, but only one of them will feature dancing!
You know what to do.
See you in room 4, at 15:00, for my session “A Long Spring: 19 Years of Living with Your Past Mistakes”.

And there was this advertisement when Trump came over for the NATO summit, and slept in a royal castle. It reads
“Orange stains on the royal sheets? Use our powerful stain remover”

I visited Blackwell’s in Oxford this summer, and they had FOUR carousels full of Osprey books.
My family was not as impressed, and decided to get ice cream when I took it upon myself to inspect each book individually.
In the end, I picked up Campaign series 294: Operation Totalize.
